This sad news to report: Cecile Richards, the former president of Planned Parenthood and feminist activist, died Monday of an aggressive brain cancer, her family confirmed in a statement. She was 67. Richards, the daughter of the former Democratic Texas governor, was one of the nation’s most prominent advocates for abortion rights.  Here is the…

Donald Trump did not attend President Joe Biden’s inauguration. Trump broke the tradition of a peaceful transition. MAGA didn’t call out Trump for skipping Biden’s swearing-in. I really don’t want to hear about MAGA calling out Democrats for saying they will not attend next Monday’s ceremony. Monday is also MLK Jr. Day and a national…

Today is Hoda Kotb’s last day on “Today.” She had a great run. Kermit the Frog made an appearance this morning and serenaded her with “Rainbow Connection.” Cool. The featured photo is all the “Today” anchors, minus Shenelle. Commentary has been watching “Today” for decades. It is what I do every morning. It is where…

Today is the National Day of Mourning. The federal government is closed today. Post offices are also closed, and mail will not be delivered. Banks are open though. _____ It looks like the State of Texas is calling on H-Town for some help. See this from the Chron: Gov. Greg Abbott is said to be…
